I have known jews from Europe, Asia, and the ME who came from places where the legal system was so corrupt and antiJewish that were conditioned to just ignore laws and rules and courts.
The ‘law’ became whatever you can get away with.
Unfortunately, some of them brought this attitude with them to America.
And what does this have to do with the prosecutor’s attempt to get the court to impose a life sentence on Sholom Rubashkin? Because you knew some Jews who ignored laws this individual should go to jail for the rest of his life based on conviction of these charges? Do you mean that all Jews from Europe, Asia and the Middle East are the same? I don’t even know that Rabbi Rubashkin was born outside of the US (he may have been; I just don’t know this).
That is not uncommon, unfortunately, among a wide variety of immigrants to this country, not jsut limited to Jewish immigrants.
A lot of the fraud and abuse perpetrated in Medicare, especially, has been commited by immigrant doctors.
